First Place for Onions

First Place

Never included
with Fruit of the Loom
Often its juicies
extract tearful gloom.  

Crisp, sweet or pungent
stirs well with another root.
Adds a bit of power
like a kick from a boot.  

Much maligned but used
adds so much to a base.
Nothing else helps
to enhance such a taste.  

To some its sort of a muse
always to a cook, quite dandy.
I thrive when I add it to my meals
always got those onions handy.
